' My invention relates to improvements in window fasteners, and it consists in the combinations, constructions and arrangements hereinafter described and claimed.

An object of my invention is to provide a window fastener that is designed to take the place of putty. The fastener consists of two pieces with a layer of soft material disposed between one of the pieces and the window pane. Oneof the pieces is first secured in place and then the other piece is secured to the first one. 7 p

A further object of my invention isto provide a device of the type described which is simple in construction and which is durable and eflicient for the purpose intended. 1 Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the device will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims. I

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, in which 3 Figure 1 is a. front elevation of a window showing the device applied in place;

Figure 2 is a section along the line 22 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a top plan view of Figure 4; Figure 4 is a front elevation of one of the pieces; V

Iiigure 5 is a plan view of the other piece; an V Figure 6 is an enlarged sectional View of the device. 7

In carrying out my invention, I make use of a windowsash 1 thathas a molding 2 formed therein for receiving a window pane 3. The pane is held against the molding 2 by means of my device which will now be described. 1

As already stated, the device consists of two parts. Reference to Figure 6 shows that one of the parts 4 is angular in shape and is j provided with a base portion 5 and avertically-extending portion 6.

Figure 2 shows the base portion 5 as resting upon a ledge 7 formed in the window sash 1. The front of the base 5 is bent downwardly and then upwardly for forming a flange 8 that bears against the side Of the wastes-agar?Ta ei.sinister-sass ing the flange-iszincl'ined; upwardly;- and 1 11s gladly; as: at:-9-;; for.-forrning fifl'l'fi f i'nlhg ange. r .f g3; fThexoortion-fihas tongues .10;, ;these mo mally. ext'ei'idingain thersameplanewaths portion fi as shown? in:Fignre 4..

This completes the assembly of the device. "i The device can be secured to a window sash quickly and will make a neat and trim appearance after beingdisposed in place.

Although I have shown and described one embodiment-of my invention, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of varlous changes, and I reserve the right to employ such changes as may come within the scope'of the appended claims.

I claim: as

1. A window fastener comprising a frame triangular in shape in cross section, said frame comprising two pieces and cooperating means carriedby the pieces for securing them together. ca

2. A window fastener comprising a strip angular in cross section, meansyfor securing the strip to a window sash, a piece for cov ering .the securing means and cooperating means carried by the strip and piece for se- Q curing them together. 3. The combination with a window sash having a window opening therein, a window pane disposed in the opening, of strips dis posed about the marginal edges of the win- Q dow pane, said strips being angular in cross section, means for securing the strips to said window sash, each strip having a flange hearing against the outer surface of the sash, said flanges having inwardly inclined portions and pieces disposed a ainst the inwardly-inclined portions and" eing secured to said 4. A Window fastener comprising a strip angular in cross; section, said strip having openings in its base portion for receiving fastening means, the front of the baserbei-ng bent into a flange for bearin against the surface of a Window sashand eingiurther; bent into an inwardly-extending portion and a piece secured to saldr-strip, said-piece bear-f ing against the inclined portion-and cooperating means carried by the strip and, piece for securing the piece to the strip. f i

3 5." A Windowiastener cornprising a strip angular in cross 1 section, said strip having openings in its base portion-for receiving fas: tenin'g: means, the frontof'the base. being bent downwardly and then upwardly f for forming a depending flange lfor: bearing against the front surfaceof awindowsash the upwardly bent portion being inclinedin- Wardly for forming a-groove with-the base portion, and a cover piece havingits-.lowen edge placed in the groove anditsupperedge resting'against the top -of=the upwardly ex tending portion of the angular strip,-and pro jectionscarried by the strip'and being bend' able into recesses in the piece *for securing the piece in position. 1 A CHARLES SIBUTTERFIELD.
